Definitions
- the present invention relates to printed articles and to methods of printing these articles.
- the invention relates particularly to articles printed using a palette of inks with each individual ink satisfying a combination of requirements.
- Printed articles and methods of printing are well known in the arts. Articles printed using multiple station presses and color palettes of multiple inks are also known. Half tone and full tone printing is utilized to decrease and increase the intensity of particular colors in the appearance of the finished article. Composite appearances, wherein combinations of the colors in a limited palette of inks are printed to yield a color outside the palette are also known. Inks are specified using either an L-a-b value, an L-C-H value, or an L-C-H-a-b value. A delta-e value (dE) for each ink color is also specified to provide the color variation which is acceptable for each color of the printing ink palette.
- dE delta-e value
- the dE for each color represents the extent by which each ink used may be separated from the color actually desired in a map of the overall color space.
- the variation can be considered a distance between the desired and actual colors.
- Delta-e is expressed as a magnitude only, with no directional component supplied. Because of this form of specifying the ink color, the actual tolerance for ink color variation is a sphere within the color space having a center at the position of the desired color and a radius of delta-e.
- the colors of the finished article are composites of the underlying palette, it is common for the cumulative effects of the base color variations to result in composite colors which exceed the accepted level of color variation from the desired composite color. Such an excess variation may result in a rejection of the finished article.
- a printed article comprises a substrate and a combination of printed inks.
- the inks comprise six distinctly colored inks. Each of the colors is specified by a target color having a full tone color target and an undertone color target.
- Each of the six printed inks has a combined full tone L-C-H-a-b dE equal to, or less than, about 2.
- Each of the six printed inks has a combined undertone dE less than, or equal to, about 3.
- a method for printing articles includes preparing an electronic data file of desired artwork including desired colors for the respective elements of the artwork.
- the artwork is proofed by printing the data file using a digital printing press.
- the printing press settings are associated with the electronic artwork file.
- Copies of the associated printing press settings and electronic artwork data files are provided to multiple printing locations. Copies of the article are printed at multiple locations utilizing the printing press settings and associated electronic artwork data files.
- FIGURE is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the invention.
- a printed article includes a substrate and artwork printed upon the substrate.
- the article may comprise packaging materials, labels, packages, or other printed materials as are known in the art.
- the substrate may be any material known in the printing arts for use as a substrate. Exemplary substrates include polymeric films and other polymeric material, respective grades of paper ranging from tissue grades to corrugated cardboard, Kraft paper, to clay finished chipboards. Metalized films and metal foils may also be used as the substrate.
- the base substrate may be coated as is known in the art in preparation for receiving the printed artwork.
- the article may receive protective and decorative finishes after the artwork has been printed upon the substrate.
- the printed substrate may be further processed as part of a packing converting process or may be complete once printed.
- the design for the artwork of a printed article may be prepared, configured or simply saved as an electronic data file.
- the artwork may incorporate data relating to the desired or specified colors for the respective elements of the article.
- the artwork and color palette specification may include an ink palette specification.
- the ink palette may comprise six distinct color specifications and may further include a requirement for the inclusion of a black ink.
- the limited seven ink palette may be used to yield a spectrum of hundreds of composite colors in the finished printed article.
- Each of the specifications for the colors in the ink palette may include L-C-H-a-b values, L-C-H value or L-a-b values for the full tone color.
- the ink colors may be further specified by providing an undertone color target.
- the specification of the palette through the use of the full tone and undertone values defines a color space.
- the artwork may then be designed using colors from the defined color space.
- the inks used in the printing process must be capable of reproducing not only the full tone as specified, but must also reproduce the designated undertones.
- the colors of the finished printed article may comprise full tones and combinations of undertones to achieve colors from throughout the color space.
- the inks used by the printer may be required to satisfy both a full tone and undertone color matching specification.
- the ink formulations may be required to have a combined full tone L-C-H-a-b delta-e equal to, or less than about 2.
- the combined full tone delta-e value is simply the combination of the delta-e values for each of the L-C-H-a-b factors.
- the inks may be further specified by the requirement that the 50% undertone have a combined delta-e equal to or less than about 3 in reference to the target 50% undertone color.
- the undertone dE may be determined once the ink formulation successfully satisfies the full tone dE requirement.
- the successfully formulated ink is used to print a tonal range from 100% full tone to no tone at all.
- the combined dE for the undertone best corresponding to the target 50% undertone, (best corresponding defined as having an L factor equal to or less than 1 relative to the target undertone) is determined relative to the target undertone. In one embodiment a combined dE equal to or less than 3 is required.
- the ink may require reformulating to satisfy the undertone dE requirement.
- the newly formulated ink should be test to confirm that the full tone dE requirement is still satisfied.
- the ink palette specification may further restrict the printer to the use of ink formulations having no more that two pigments per ink. Such a limitation may limit the number of variables in the formulation and reduce the likelihood of color variations in the formulated ink.
- the ink palette specification may also incorporate a light fastness requirement.
- Light fastness relates to the stability of the ink color upon exposure to radiant energy over time. Inks having a low degree of light fastness may undergo a degradation of appearance and an alteration in the perceived color upon exposure to even low intensity light sources of low energy spectra.
- Articles intended for use as product advertising and product packaging may have minimally acceptable levels of color light fastness to ensure a stable and desired appearance over the anticipated lifecycle of the article.
- the ink formulations may be specified as requiring a lightfastness value of at least about 5. For uses where the article may be exposed to intense light sources, a higher lightfastness of 6, 7 or even 8 may be required.
- ISO 105-B02 Color Fastness to Artificial Light: Xenon Arc Fading Lamp Test
- samples of the printed ink and standardized samples of wool, colored with blue dyes expressed as having a light fast range from 1 to 8 are exposed to a xenon arc lamp until the ink samples demonstrate a color change in comparison to unexposed sample corresponding to a grey scale change of three.
- the exposed wool samples are compared to unexposed wool samples. If the number 5 wool sample has undergone at least a grey scale change of 3, the ink is considered to have a blue wool scale (BWS) lightfastness of at least 5.
- BWS blue wool scale
- the ink palette may further specify that ink formulations be within the color spaces of standard print proofing systems.
- KODAKTM and NECTM print proofing systems have color spaces within the systems may compose artwork to be proofed. The color spaces are finite.
- the selection of ink formulations outside the color spaces of standard proofing systems may result in artwork which cannot be adequately proofed prior to the more costly process step of a press run of the finished article.
- a specification that an ink formulation has a proof rating of 1 provides that the ink may be successfully be proofed using standard proofing printers. Inks which may not be proofed have a proof rating of 0.
- the selection of a particular palette of colors defines a corresponding color space or spectrum of colors.
- the corresponding color space may be used to limit or restrict the color selection choices made during the design or artwork for an article.
- a plurality of articles designed using a common color space to limit the colors selected may subsequently be printed using a common set of inks.
- a single printing press may be used to print multiple articles having different artwork and differing composite colors in the artwork without any need to change the inks being used in the printing process.
- a first article may be printed in a desired quantity and a second article having artwork that is distinct from the first article may be subsequently printed upon the same press without any need to change ink colors or to undergo the associated cleaning procedures necessary when changing ink colors.
- the color palette for a printed article comprises: a first ink having LCHab values of between about 61 and 64, 56 and 59, 224 and 227, ⁇ 39 and ⁇ 40, and ⁇ 39 and ⁇ 42; a second ink having LCHab values of between about 53 and 56, 59 and 63, 358 and 4, 59 and 63, and ⁇ 1 and 4; a third color having LCHab values of between about 92 and 93, 87 and 88, 88 and 89, 2 and 3, 87 and 88; a fourth color having LCHab values of between about 73 and 74, 80 and 81, 48 and 49, 53 and 54, and 60 and 61; a fifth color having LCHab values of between about 66 and 67, 64 and 65, 158 and 159, ⁇ 60 and ⁇ 61, and 23 and 24; and a sixth color having LCHab values of between about 51 and 52, 49 and 50, 263 and 264, ⁇ 5 and ⁇
- the articles may be printed using analog or digital printing presses.
- the use of a digital printing press allows the article to be proof printed upon the digital press from the electronic data file for the artwork.
- the printing press settings associated with the proof may be associated with the artwork file.
- the artwork and press setting may be provided to multiple locations and may be used upon multiple presses to yield substantially identical articles from different presses.
- the setting and data files may be provided to the respective locations using any means known in the art for the distribution of data.
- the articles may be printed using a combination of analog and digital printing stations.
- the articles may be printed using flexographic or gravure methods.
- the article may comprise proofing squares, segments, or spots. Each proofing segment may consist of a single color from the palette. In one embodiment the segments comprise a composite color of the finished design.
- the proofing segments may be incorporated into the final article or, as in the case of some labels, may comprise a portion of an intermediate form of the article.
- the articles may be printed using less than the full palette of colors by disengaging printing at one or more print stations.
- the articles may comprise additional spot ink colors to attain artwork colorations outside the color space achievable with the color palette.
- Article 100 comprises substrate 110 and inks 115 , 125 , 135 , 145 , 155 , 165 , and 175 each printed in a proofing spot as well as printed together in a composite image 180 .
